Aesop's Fables in J&D Latin Reader
Fable 48. Cornix et Columba
Cornix
columbae gratulabatur foecunditatem,
quod
singulis mensibus
pullos excluderet.
At illa,
Ne mei, inquit, doloris causam commemores.
Nam quos pullos educo,
eos dominus raptos
aut ipse comedit
aut aliis comedendos vendit.
Ita mihi
mea foecunditas
novum semper luctum parit.
